Bernadette is the writer as well as the publisher
the name chosen for the publisher ( not a registered company ) has two
formats:
LEE-PISAPIA, Kam Fu Bernadette ( Hong Kong format), or LEE-PISAPIA Kam Fu Bernadette ( Italian format) . Therefore, the comma in between does not mean two distinct individuals as it is used to distinguish the last name and the first name in the Hong Kong format. For the other format, capital letter has been used to indicate the LAST NAME from the first name.
( from 06/09/2023, the Italain format is officially transformed to LEE Kam Fu Bernadette coniugata PISAPIA . However, the fully extended writing of my hyphenated Last Name is still maintained as my Canadian and Hong Kong identity : Kam Fu Bernadette LEE-PISAPIA)

videos Per Padre Gianni can be viewed on my other website:www.bernadetteleepisapia.it especially realised by Bernadette for the family of Padre Gianni in Mazzano Romano and Capranica, Italy, thanking them for their hospitality
At the Anniversary of my artist in residence project at Riverwalk
I painted two poems by Li Po Of Tang dynasty
in Chinese Calligraphy on Silk
one is titled : the waterfall of Mount Lu seen from Afar
At Sunrise, Incense like Hill, purplish mist
Looking from afar, the waterfall hangs like a flowing river
Flowing at the speed of flight, flies through 3000 feet
As if the Milky Way has made its move from heaven
another is the famous poem of Quiet Night , painted by me many times, in different ways, sometimes in the manner of Monet ( in Scotland 1982-83), at other time on layered canvases ( in Italy 1996-1997)
Perhaps due to nostalgia of some happy memories in the past
I decided to paint poems on silk once again
in Chinese Calligraphy in colour
The longer poem of Li Po , which has an impactful image of a flowing kind of reality, reminds me of the freshness of encounter I had with the Mui Wo waterfall
Though it is not to be compared to the fast flowing river image forcefully described in the poem, this tiny Mui Wo waterfall somehow still reminds me of my inner reality which can be likened to a fast flowing Waterfall.( the sudden changing of my residency from Italy to Hong Kong, something totally taken by surprise)
Thanks to Noguchi, this surprise became forever meaningful, due to the possibility of having the Noguchi set of sofa , table, and a tiny chair so that I could at this tiny space dream of more visual impacts, to be immortalised on canvases or silk. (hence the painted silk is placed on the long and nature inspired Noguchi sofa).
